[ CVE-2026-113664 · Published 20 Oct 2026 ]
ApostropheCMS import-export tar guard misses './..' because it is a literal '../' substring test
CVSS 5.3
EPSS <1%Fix available
[ Description ]Official description
ApostropheCMS is an open-source Node.js content management system. Prior to 3.7.0 of the import-export module, an authenticated importer can submit a tar entry whose normalized destination targets a directory while bypassing the literal parent-path substring guard. Opening that directory as a write stream emits an unhandled filesystem error that can terminate the Node.js process; the source establishes this static primitive but not an end-to-end exploit or controlled arbitrary file read or write. This issue is fixed in version 3.7.0.
